Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland is making the most of his time in the Windy City.
The 21-year-old quickly became a fan favorite after a stellar rookie campaign that cemented him as a key piece of Ben Johnson’s offense. The former Michigan Wolverines standout emerged as the Bears’ top pass-catcher, hauling in 58 receptions for 713 yards and six touchdowns. He played a key role in the Bears’ 11-6 record and NFC North title.
The Idaho native is now soaking in everything Chicago has to offer during the offseason. He’s clearly enjoying himself as he prepares for year two with one of the NFL’s most exciting young rosters.

Loveland stepped out of his helmet and into the role of spectator on Tuesday. The tight end watched courtside in street clothes as the Chicago Bulls hosted the Charlotte Hornets at the United Center.
The home team fell short, dropping a 131-99 decision to the visiting Hornets. Matas Buzelis led the way for Chicago with a game-high 32 points, seven rebounds and two assists, but it was not enough to avoid the lopsided defeat.
Despite the result, the night had a bright spot. The Bulls acknowledged Loveland’s presence, and the arena responded with a warm reception.
The team also captured the moment on social media, and the comment section quickly filled with admiration for the 21-year-old after his latest offseason move.

“Aww…that’s so cool the people love you kiddo,” one user wrote.
“Colston Loveland throwing trick play coming next season,” another chimed in.
“Colston!!! I’m a non-creep mom of two young kids who just admires your talent, and I’m so proud of all you accomplished this season!! 2026-2027 ain’t ready!,” a fan passionately wrote.
“I love this man,” commented another.
“That’s our guy!” a user said.
“Such a cutie,” a fan declared.
The Bears had high hopes for Loveland when they selected him 10th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Idaho native shattered those expectations in year one and became a beloved figure in Chicago in a remarkably short amount of time.
With the full backing of a city that has embraced him, the sky’s the limit for Loveland heading into his sophomore season.
